Membership
Three months of weekly, in-home personal training time is $1633 and benefits the people closest to you with a staffed fitness service for an hour each week. Membership is sold by reserved time slot, not by person.
How it works
In-Home, Outdoors, Private Studio
Once weekly, your trainer comes to your home, nearby park, or private studio for a 60-minute session. That could be mat pilates, athletic conditioning, deep stretching, learning to lift weights, or simply figuring out training well enough to do it on your own for the rest of your life.
Invite family, friends, neighbours, or golf group to share your reserved hour however you wish. Members can keep the full hour one-on-one, split 30-minutes each with a spouse, or make their garage the weekly gathering place from $10 per person.
Write your own rules, then tell us the playbook.
Designed for your perfect west coast day
Do you play golf on Thursdays, and want to get some mobility and leg strength in your backyard before? Book us in! Similar to a golf club membership, you choose a time slot like a weekly tee time.
We provide specialized month-to-month leadership in that weekly hour, for all your fitness programming, with strength and conditioning routines that you can do anywhere.

Payment
Upfront Cost: 514.30 e-transfer/check
Weekly Cost: 100 cash
30% advance payment to PQB Athletic, of your 3 month package, then weekly payment in cash of remaining balance (70%) to your trainer. Includes 5% tax.
-
Simply give 100 to your trainer after each session. No surcharge for statutory holidays, longer sessions, additional support, or conversations between visits. The rate is flat and includes applicable taxes. Tips are not accepted.
-
The 30% paid to PQB Athletic reserves your time, for the full three months and is non- refundable for any reason. If you need to miss a session, we compensate your booked trainer from the $42.90.
As that time is reserved exclusively for you each week for 12 weeks, we cannot rollover, refund or credit missed sessions for any reason. Rescheduling is sometimes possible but not guaranteed.
In the very rare incident that we cancel, you can have either one week added to your membership or extra time added to your session. Every effort will be made to avoid cancellation from our side.
Why doesn't membership include training?
Separating membership from training protects your investment. Life happens. Vacations, illness, family obligations, work travel, and recovery periods can all interrupt your routine. Rather than paying the full $136 session rate for weeks you can't attend, your reserved time slot remains yours for approximately $36.
Your membership reserves a recurring weekly appointment within the PQB Athletic system. That includes scheduling, administration, insurance, trainer matching, trainer replacement, and the operational support required to keep that hour available for you each week.
-
If someone in your neighbourhood is training within 15 minutes of your time slot, we’ll take $15 off every session - for both of you. This includes Tuesday training at Little Qualicum Hall, private RDN booked studio in Dashwood from September to May each year. In July and August, the discount applies to our outdoor location at Parksville Community Park.
-
The booking is yours to share with up to ten people in that hour. Once you have purchased the membership, thats your time and you can use it how best suits, as long as the originally booked location stays the same. We don’t match participants on your behalf, and each membership is assigned to one point of contact. All participants must sign ParQ before training.
-
Get in touch about family funded memberships for your senior parents living in Parksville and Qualicum Beach. We coordinate updates and direct payment to adult children from out-of-town wanting a practical way to support their active living safely.
For example, if you're away for a month, retaining your reserved time costs approximately $144 rather than $544 in training fees. When you're ready to return, your place in the schedule is still there without needing to restart the booking process or compete for availability.
Trainer payments operate on an honesty-box system. Members pay their trainer directly for sessions delivered, while PQB Athletic manages the membership itself. This keeps administration low, allows more money to go directly to the professionals providing your service, and supports the flexibility that makes the membership model work.
This structure is only possible because trainers receive one of the highest payout percentages in the country (when a session takes place), absorbing the risk for when it doesn’t.
Trainer Guarantee
-
After the first session, if (for any reason) you choose not to continue, just let us know and we’ll refund your entire package, no questions asked. We’ll simply reassign them to another client.
-
50% discount off trainer fee, pay them $50 instead of $100
if you’re unable to extend the session for the time missed. Occasionally this is unavoidable, closed roads etc, so it’s best to choose a time slot that allows some flexibility for life to happen. -
100% refund of pre-paid portion, trainer replaced and complimentary session.
-
You hold onto the balance of your training session, until the service is delivered. This ensures you receive what you pay for.
Trainers are matched to each booking request, based on qualifications and specialized expertise. Clients can verify their paperwork before starting. Trainers have criminal record clearance. Above video highlights the work with fitness director Catt Smiley, who may be requested for your sessions.
